It appears that the Mastodon migration is having a noticeable effect. Elmo's Twitter is now putting all tweets that contain links to Mastodon servers behind "sensitive content" warnings. I guess mentioning the competition doesn't meet Elmo's criteria for "free speech".
#Twitter #ElonMusk #FreeSpeech #Mastodon
@shuttersparks Well, not the #tweet I just posted about it.
@cappallo It's being widely reported. Did the tweet include a link to a Mastodon server?
@shuttersparks Yep, this instance, along with #mastodon tag and at-elonmusk. Looked fine from Incognito.
@cappallo It's possible that not all such tweets are placed behind warnings immediately. Depends on how it was implemented. Rather than an output filter, there might be a task running, scanning and marking tweets. Not all have been marked and fresh tweets might take a while to be marked.

@shuttersparks Besides, it's quite a stretch to describe the relationship as "competition".
@shuttersparks this doesn't seem to work here, neither a link to your post: https://mobile.twitter.com/everton137/status/1602539051604664321
This just happened to me on Sunday after I invited a follower to consider coming to Mastodon.
@SharonGibson3 @shuttersparks is there any way to verify this message related to the mastodon mention? Would like to share this with someone as illustration of Musk's behaviour.
After receiving those ridiculous messages, I deleted the post and DM'ed my follower. I could send you a screenshot of that, but that's not what prompted the response.
@shuttersparks lol is elmo elon 🤣 😂 😆
